I frowned when I saw her two older brothers walking toward me. "Fiona, don't you ever make sure that the person you want to teach a lesson is someone you can afford to offend before you mess with them?”
"Make sure?" She chuckled coolly as she said, "Who do you think you are?"
I sighed and grabbed my phone to call Carlson. Before the call was connected, I said coldly, "I've warned you, but I don't really have a choice if you aren’t going to listen."
After a pause, I continued saying, "You're the reason why your dad has to go home and live out his days. Just don’t blame me."
She thought I was putting on a brave act and said to her brothers, "Quick, take her away and teach her a lesson."
The call connected, and Carlson smiled as he asked, "M y dear daughter, to what do I owe this surprise?"
I smirked. "Uncle, Zachary Cinny, a well-off civilian in Zenon, pockets nearly all the money allocated to help the poor for himself. You should send someone over to conduct an investigation.”
Carlson's voice grew solemn. "Are you alright?"
I smiled. "I'm alright. They wouldn't dare do much to m e."
"I'll head over tonight. Take care of your safety, and wait for me to take care of everything."
I nodded and hung up the phone.
Fiona still thought I was putting on an act and said sarcastically, “Wanda Lane, you’re a single mother with no social power or background. Stop pretending t o be someone you’re not."
She gazed at the two men beside her, who had no idea if they should take action or not. She said, "Brothers, bring her to an isolated area and treat her well. It doesn't matter if you kill her. I'll take responsibility for whatever happens."
The two men still had some sanity left. They gazed hesitantly at me as they said, "What’s your last name?"
I raised an eyebrow. "My name’s Wanda Lane. Didn't Miss Cinny tell you that?"
